(Makes 4 dozen)
Cream together:
2/3 C. shortening
1/2 C. sugar
Add:
1 egg
1 (6 oz.) pkg mint choc. chips, melted
1/4 C. corn syrup
Blend well & add:
1-3/4 C. flour
2 tsp. baking soda
1/4 tsp. salt
Mix well and chill dough.
Need 48 thin mints - about 3 boxes - found in candy aisle in the grocery store.
Roll dough in small marble-sized balls (so cookies end up about the size of the mints). Bake at 350 for 10-15 minutes on ungreased sheet.
Let stand a few seconds and remove to cooling rack. Place mints between 2 cookies right away, and then press together as mints begin to melt to sandwich.
